Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the immersive VR experience and the comfortable design of the Rift Headset, frequently praising its lightweight feel and intuitive touch controllers. However, some users point to the lower resolution and resulting screen door effect as drawbacks, while others mention occasional motion sickness and compatibility issues with certain games or hardware. The available content library is also a point of contention for some customers. Despite these shortcomings, many appreciate the headset's overall performance and value for the price.

    I'm loving this. I firmly believe this is the way of the future. Not only has VR been great entertainment, but I've been using it for productivity with interesting results. The only issues I have had are light bleeding in from the outside and the lenses fogging up after playing very physical games. Overall, this is an awesome product and I can't wait to see where VR goes in the future.

    It's pricey but the Rift is a great VR experience. Try a demo and you'll be sold.

    Oculus Rift has exceeded my expectations. You can write as many reviews as you want but won't do it justice.

    Worth every penny. Easy set up, but don't go cheap on the PC. MS Win 10 is a must.

    Great product, VR is definitely the future. I do wish Oculus would be more open like Valve. You are essentially buying a higher tech monitor and there should be no restrictions on what content displays or uses it. These settings can be enabled but Oculus has made it more difficult than it needs to be if you want to use things outside of Oculus home. Better screens than HTC Vibe however!

    I have to say I was skeptical about the whole VR thing, but after purchasing and owning these for just a week I'm sold. There are some really neat games that are available in the Oculus store, but I really enjoy using them for Skyrim and other non-vr native games. It has made the 1st person experience soooo much better. Get these if you are a first person gamer. It'll be worth it.

    This came with a computer I purchased and I had no prior interest in VR but wanted to give it a shot. It was easy to setup and instantly blew my mind. Definitely a fun toy if you want to experience VR although do research on anything else you might need if you want to play something specific. For example I don't think I can do certain SteamVR games without getting an extra controller. The Oculus comes with a software store and library though.

    VR has a long way to go, but this is headed in the right direction. It is fun for the first few hours, but then it gets a little old. You will be wowed, but the novelty wears off, and you're left with 800.00(if you have the touch as well) of equipment sitting around. Maybe one day more games will come out and be a little more fun, but today is not that day.

    This is one of the coolest at home consoles/games that I've experienced! My only issue is that it seems to be difficult to control the updates. It likes to update whenever it wants and I have yet to find a way to stop that from happening. It has frozen my pc plenty of times. Hopefully soon it won't be a BETA and they will have it stable so it doesn't lock up your computer.

    This is the single most amazing piece of technology that I have ever owned. Before games could take you to another place mentally but not physically. With this it is so close to being in the game, I just need a multi-directional treadmill and I will be able to feel like I am actually in the game.

    Purchased my Oculus a few months back and I still love it. Great new technology. Make sure you have a machine that can run it. I am using the Alienware Aurora A5 and it runs just fine. I use Steam VR along with VorpX and Oculus store. Seems like there is pretty good support for VR. I do with the cord on the headset was a little longer, but nothing an extension can't fix.

    This was my second experience with VR after the gear vr. The gear vr actually does some things better, it's lighter, ease of use is nice, and the clarity is actually a higher resolution than the rift. That said when it comes to gaming, the rift is like pc gaming compared to the gear vr being mobile gaming. The touch controls are awesome and very immersive too
